1 Polygons and Angles Lesson #3 Pg. 27

2 Key Vocabulary Polygon – A simple, closed figure formed by three or more line segments Equilateral – A polygon in which all the sides are congruent Equiangular – A polygon in which all the angles are congruent Regular Polygon – A polygon that is both, equilateral and equiangular

3 Polygons you Should KNOW.. Number of SidesName of Polygon 3Triangle 4Quadrilateral 5Pentagon 6Hexagon 7Heptagon 8Octagon 9Nonagon 10Decagon 11Hendecagon 12Dodecagon

4 Interior Angle Sum of a Polygon The sum (S) of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is (n – 2) 180, where n represents the number of sides in the polygon HINT: A triangle has 180° in interior angles, from one vertex in the polygon connect line segments to the other vertices to see how many triangles are created. Multiply the amount of triangles by 180

5 Examples of Interior Angles in Polygons Number of Sides (n) Sketch of Figure Number of Triangles Sum of Angle Measure (n-2)180 311(180°)=180° 4 5 6

6 Examples Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a decagon. Hexagon? Octagon? 15-gon?

7 Examples Each chamber of a bee honeycomb is a regular hexagon. Find the measure of an interior angle (1) of a regular hexagon. Octagon? Heptagon? 20-gon?

8 Exterior Angles of a Polygon In a polygon, the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, is 360°. 1 2 3 4 5 5 1 2 3 4

9 Examples Find the measure of an exterior angle in a regular hexagon. Triangle? Quadrilateral? Octagon?
